164 Diligence Saves Lives (Silver 3/40)
"We don't care about the affairs of the court, Wang Xu, do you know that Qianyu is sick?" The queen mother didn't take her son's words seriously, hearing was false and seeing was believing, so she scared the two prime ministers at this virtue, who would believe it.
"Huh? Is the princess sick? It's still fine when I go out in the morning......" Hong Tao understood a little, the mother-in-law was going to ask herself for an explanation, why did she make her daughter sick.
It's really wronged, I can't say that the princess is very healthy, but after less than a year of insisting on exercising, she is much better than before, and she has gained a lot of weight, so why can't anyone see it.
"The old body can still lie to you!"
"Don't dare, don't dare, I think it's because of the complicated accounts in the house these days, and the ...... caused by fatigue" said this, no matter how you answer, Chiguoguo's power oppresses people. But I can't refute it yet, so let's admit my mistake.
"Wang Xu, the second sister is indeed sick. As soon as I entered the palace in the morning, I kept vomiting, and the doctor came to see her and said that she was pregnant, how could you get rid of it? "The emperor is a quick temper, and he is too lazy to play dumb riddles with his brother-in-law, so he directly solves the riddle.
"Ah...... The princess is pregnant! This is indeed what Wechen did! Hearing the news suddenly, Hong Tao was stunned for several seconds before he reacted, who would have thought of this thing.
"I heard the emperor say that you are contributing to the court recently, and national affairs cannot be delayed, and neither can you delay your shallow body. The old body is the master, leaving her in the palace to recuperate, can it be made? Now that the mystery has been solved, the old lady no longer plays dumb riddles and tells her true purpose.
"The princess made Weichen make it, but I don't know if Weichen can meet the princess again. I heard that pregnant women should not only eat, drink, rest well, but also maintain a happy mood, if they miss it every day, it may not be good for the fetus. ”
Make a fart! Hong Tao 10,000 is not happy. It's not that I'm afraid that the princess will suffer in the palace, but I feel that the medical conditions at this time are not enough for her to give birth to the fetus safely. Others can't take care of it, but it's your own child, and it's better to let yourself be responsible. But I can't say this explicitly, I have to express it tactfully.
"I can't imagine that the horse is still good at such things, shallow, you married a good husband, what is the care and love, the horse is also."
Emperor Shenzong frowned when he said this, men know about women, and they are not worthy of boasting in this era, but they are a little ashamed. But the Queen Mother doesn't think so, because she is a woman, and she has a lot to say what kind of husband is good.
"The concubine has thanked her husband for her care, her mother has lived in the harem for a long time, and her daughter is always worried about it, if the second brother can allow her husband to visit the palace from time to time, the concubine is willing to stay in the palace and do her filial piety." Hearing that her mother was praising her husband, the princess's face turned even redder, not shy, but happy.
"Since it is the mother's order, the sons will not obstruct it. Wang Xu, before going out of the palace, look for Pei Zhonggui to get a waist card, and when you miss your second sister, you will enter the palace to visit. I must make the second sister happy, I also want to see my nephew as soon as possible and listen to him call my uncle. ”
She also saw her brother's expression, and she was even better at how to deal with this brother, and she forced Emperor Shenzong into a corner with one sentence, and she couldn't turn around if she wanted to. Even if it doesn't conform to the etiquette law, you have to agree to it, and you have to pretend to be gratified.
"Maybe it's a niece, as gentle and virtuous as a princess." If you don't say that Hong Tao is cheap, seeing that everything is fine, he has to make up a sentence.
"Niangniang, the sons and the concubines have important matters to discuss, and the two ministers are still waiting for the decree in the Chongzheng Palace, can they retire first." This sentence made Emperor Shenzong vicious, and he actually lied to the Queen Mother.
"Go ahead, now that you have a waist card, you can come at any time, and the horse still has to focus on state affairs." The queen mother is indeed quite open-minded, she did not miss state affairs because of family affairs, and waved her hand to signal that she was okay here, and let the emperor and the concubine feel free.
At this time, Hong Tao was dumbfounded, and honestly followed the emperor with a stiff face and returned to the Chongzheng Palace. Originally, I hoped that Wang Anshi and Sima Guang would not leave, but the reality was very cruel, these two had long since disappeared, only himself and the emperor were staring at each other in the room, and there was a humanoid puppet standing next to him who didn't speak, didn't look, and didn't want to.
"Sit down, and then talk about the wartime cabinet and me in detail, where did this idea come from, and which dynasty to emulate?" Picking up the newly served herbal tea again, the emperor finally saw the dagger. He is not patriarchal, but uses this stubble to ask about the topic just now.
As an emperor who wants to make a difference and has a tough personality, this matter must have the effect of Daigo's empowerment, and he can smell a strong taste of power without too much detailed explanation.
If the imperial power can really be strengthened in this way, any new policy and Western Xia can be slowed down, and one of the main purposes of his change of law is not this.
“…… The minister has never imitated any dynasty, since he was kicked by the horse's hooves, the minister will have strange dreams from time to time, the characters in the dream are lifelike, flying feathers, flower ointment, insect wax, honeycomb charcoal, lead printing, big head water, perfume, coking iron, shipbuilding and oars, and even the affairs of the court and government are all obtained in dreams. However, the ministers couldn't distinguish the truth from the false, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense about things that had not been inspected, so they didn't report it in time, and His Majesty atoned for his sins. ”
This set of nonsense was actually made up by Hong Tao as early as when he entered the palace to discuss the ointment, and once he couldn't deal with it, he was ready to put all the responsibility on the dream. But it hasn't been used, and now it's time to take it out and top it first.
Because everything else is easy to make excuses, but the government can't make it up, this thing has no actual experience, how can it be said that it is all based on imagination, as long as the other party is not a fool, and he has to be anxious every minute, this is obviously nonsense.
"I see...... Wang Xu, you have never participated in politics, and you don't know the fierceness of the court battle, so you must not change it lightly, it will put you in a desperate situation. ”
At the same time as the emperor, Pei Zhonggui breathed a sigh of relief, and it was obvious that the argument of the concubine was too much in line with the actual situation, and there was no second reason to explain why a person would change so much.
The ancients attributed the unexplained anomalies to gods and ghosts, but in fact, not only the ancients, but also modern people are not much stronger.
"The minister knows that he is wrong......" Hong Tao is also often relieved, as long as he gets through this pass, it will be easier in the future, what he does can be said to be a dream, and he saves nonsense.
"Let's not be busy discussing right and wrong, and tell the wartime cabinet and me in detail in my dream, so that there can be no omission. Pei Zhonggui, you come to write down what the horse said. ”
The Emperor obviously didn't want to let the horses pass so easily, and he was more concerned with the details of the wartime cabinet. Although this system sounds quite reliable, it is difficult for those who have not experienced it to imagine the whole picture, and can only get inspiration from the colt.
"The minister obeys ......the order" Hong Tao is a little contradictory, looking at the eldest brother, this means that he really expects the power to be monopolized, if he succeeds, maybe he will advance the Ming Dynasty by hundreds of years, which is the ending that he is very unwilling to see.
But for now, this is the only way to solve the external problem. If he can guide the emperor to follow his own way of thinking, and he has this right, not only can the Western Xia be pacified, but it is not impossible to quickly pacify the Northern Dynasty.
When the time comes, it may be possible to recover from going back and starting to solve internal affairs, and I really can't think of a way to get the best of both worlds, so I can only rush to power.
This is a long talk, from before lunch to after dinner, and it is still not finished. Because Emperor Shenzong listened more and more interested, almost every new point of knowledge had to be debated repeatedly until he thought he understood, and then he was allowed to continue speaking.
Hong Tao can be regarded as paying a heavy price for his cheapness, and the emperor naturally didn't eat lunch either. He was hungry and could bear it, but in the face of the emperor's sharp questions one after another, the ink in his stomach was not enough.
The cabinet system also existed in ancient China, which was established from the Ming Dynasty, but it was just the emperor's secretariat, and it was completely different from the cabinet system in the West.
Now Hong Tao has to use the Chinese way of thinking to translate the Western cabinet system, and try to make it as difficult as possible for the emperor to understand. But he only knows the cabinet system, and it is far from being able to explain it in simple terms, and it is inevitable that there will be places where the donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth.
The most unfortunate thing is that his audience is still a professional politician, and these things have been used since elementary school, and they can often ask the idea in one sentence, and it is basically impossible to fool the past.
In fact, Hong Tao is crooked, and he saved his own life. Emperor Shenzong asked him to explain in detail, not entirely interested in this novel system, and testing the horses was also the most important thing.
